Beachbody Slim in 6 Fitness Program-Review and Giveaway!!

Hey everyone, I am so excited about this review/giveaway opportunity! I recently received the Slim in 6 fitness kit for review from Beachbody, and just started it yesterday. Wow! I love this program! As you can tell from the title, the program is designed to help you get fit and in shape in 6 short weeks. The kit comes with 3 dvd workouts. You start out with the Start It Up! dvd, weeks 3-4 you move onto Ramp It Up! and the final 2 weeks are worked with the Burn It Up! There are also 2 bonus programs included; Slim and 6-Pack, a 16 minute ab workout, and Slim and Limber, a 17 minute flexibility routine. In addition, you receive 3 bonus gifts-a 6-Day Express Diet Plan (3 options to help you lose up to 6 pounds, and 6 inches in your first 6 days), Cardio Core! Express workout dvd, an up-tempo cardio workout that works your core, and a Slim Training Band to provide resistance during your workout.

So, yesterday I sat down and read all the included information, wrote down the "before" measurements, weight, etc. and my goals. I have done the Start It Up! workout twice now, and I really enjoy it. Yes, it makes me sweat and work hard. Yes, I woke up a little sore this morning-but that means it is working! Debbie makes the workout fun and easy, with plenty of variety thrown in. I really appreciate how easy it is to follow her lead. No intricate dance steps or fancy footwork. The exercises are very easy to follow, and Debbie does a great job of explaining and demonstrating each move.

My "before" pic...I'll repost in 6 weeks with the "after" pic :)

Slim In 6 really is more than just a workout...it is a complete method to help you lose weight and reach the goals you have set for yourself. There is a brochure included that covers healthy eating habits and recommendations, since, as Debbie says during the workout, exercise is only half the battle. I have to agree with her-I have no trouble working out for 30-45 minutes every day, but I do have a sweet tooth (when it comes to chocolate or ice cream), and I don't always make the best choices when it comes to food. So I have enjoyed having the guidelines included, and I am really going to be controlling my portions, eating more fresh fruits and veggies, and just plain eating right! I am very excited about this 6 week program, and can't wait to see the results!

In 2 weeks, I'll post the winner of this giveaway, give an update on my progress, and also share some info about the workout designer/instructor, Debbie Siebers!

So, would one of you like to join me on the 6 week journey to good health? Beachbody sent me a second Slim In 6 kit for a giveaway!!
